Spectacular Train Path to Copper Mines inside Andes

Stunning Teach Approach to Copper MThe Chanaral – Llanta – Potrerillos collection with Chile is amongst the almost all stunning railways on the world. That hooks up Potrerillos, a new right now abandoned town in addition to my very own in the out of the way Andes situated 2850 metres over sea levels, using the filter grow in addition to workshops with Llanta in addition to Diego de Almagro, in which the collection hooks up for the Longitudinal Norte, in addition to continues to Chañaral as well as the have from Barquito. This collection was built starting up 1916 through the Andes Birdwatcher Mining Business to touch base the particular Potrerillos copper my very own in addition to smelter having Pueblo Hundido (now named Diego de Almagro), wherever this associated with the state railway network, which often ongoing to be able to Chañaral. ines in the Andes.

The Potrerillos mine started production a decade later in 1927. The railway was subsequently used to transport supplies to Potrerillos and refined copper to the harbor at Barquito. Although the deposits of Potrerillos were smaller and its ores of poorer quality than those at Chile’s principal copper mine at Chuquicamata, the mine made an important contribution to the country’s copper production. The diminishing quality of its ore and the discovery of another substantial body of copper ore in 1954 at nearby Indio Muerto, finally lead to the closure of Potrerillos mines in 1959. The company town that had been established at Potrerillos was abandoned by the end of the 20th century, but a copper smelter and refinery continued to operate at the location.

In 1959, the mines at Potrerillos were replaced by those at El Salvador. Since then, the liquefied ore is transported by pipeline from El Salvador to a filtration plant near Llanta, from where the dried ore concentrate is transported by railway to the Potrerillos plant. Potrerillos now supplies other plants with sulfuric acid, required for purification of copper, both by truck and railway.

The line between Potrerillos to Barquito is 155 km long, and between the mines to the filtration plant in Llanta is 90 km in length. The most spectacular section is the ascent between the station Montandon (2350 m) and Potrerillos (2850 m), where it passes through closed curves and tunnels, always beaten to the slope. On the last 66 km between Llanta and Potrerillos, the railroad first passes a rugged, lonesome valley and finally winds up to the terminus of the line, passing a breathtaking mountain scenery.
